Criminal liability of canadian corporations for international crimes

Ce mémoire porte sur la responsabilité pénale des entreprises canadiennes pour des crimes internationaux commis en partie ou entièrement à l’étranger. Dans la première partie, nous montrons que les premiers développements sur la reconnaissance de la responsabilité criminelle d’entités collectives devant les tribunaux militaires établis après la deuxième guerre mondiale n’ont pas été retenus par les tribunaux ad hoc des Nations Unies et par la Cour pénale internationale. En effet, la compétence personnelle de ces tribunaux permet uniquement de contraindre des personnes physiques pour des crimes internationaux. Dans la deuxième partie, nous offrons des exemples concrets illustrant que des entreprises canadiennes ont joué dans le passé et peuvent jouer un rôle criminel de soutien lors de guerres civiles et de conflits armés au cours desquels se commettent des crimes internationaux. Nous montrons que le droit pénal canadien permet d’attribuer une responsabilité criminelle à une organisation (compagnie ou groupe non incorporé) pour des crimes de droit commun commis au Canada, comme auteur réel ou comme complice. Nous soutenons qu’il est également possible de poursuivre des entreprises canadiennes devant les tribunaux canadiens pour des crimes internationaux commis à l’extérieur du Canada, en vertu de la Loi canadienne sur les crimes contre l’humanité et les crimes de guerre, du principe de la compétence universelle et des règles de droit commun. Bref, le Canada est doté d’instruments juridiques et judiciaires pour poursuivre des entreprises soupçonnées de crimes internationaux commis à l’étranger et peut ainsi mettre un terme à leur état indésirable d’impunité.

Impacto del proceso de eliminación del doble conteo del material importado por Carbones del Cerrejón Limited en términos de eficiencia y efectividad en el proceso de nacionalización y liberación del material

La operación de mega minería que abarca CERREJON se desarrolla bajo lo más altos estándares de seguridad y calidad, con el compromiso de entregar al mercado un excelente producto y evitando el deterioro del entorno. Uno de los puntos más fuertes de la compañía se haya en la integración de los procesos productivos entre la mina de carbón, el ferrocarril y el puerto, logrando que la operación sea eficiente y que garantice niveles altos de óptimos resultados y que los porcentajes de falla no existan o cada vez sean menores en el proceso de explotación y transporte del carbón de Colombia hacia el mundo. El departamento de MATERIALES es el punto de origen para garantizar que se desarrolle la operación, dado que el departamento tiene la gran labor de adquirir y entregar los bienes y servicios requeridos por la Compañía al más bajo costo total evaluado, en el menor tiempo posible y bajo el marco de la legislación Colombiana en el proceso de nacionalización, con un alto énfasis en el desarrollo de relaciones fuertes y sinérgicas entre todos los eslabones de la cadena. Todo el proceso del departamento se enmarca dentro de un ciclo que debe encaminarse a ser cada vez más efectivo y eficiente; de allí que se busquen opciones de mejoramiento para afinar los procesos. Para que sea posible y factible manejar una mega operación como esta se requiere afinar al máximo la red que se establece en su cadena de abastecimiento, buscando lograr un flujo de producto, información y fondos que garanticen disponibilidad del producto, para así generar una rentabilidad alta a la compañía, y controlar los costos por la operación. Dado que la cadena de suministro es susceptible a mejoras, gracias a la interacción con los proveedores, colaboradores y clientes; se pretende sacar el mejor provecho de esto, a través del análisis de la cadena actual de CERREJON; presentando una opción de mejora en uno de los eslabones del proceso productivo, esta opción ha sido contemplada desde años anteriores, pero en esta ocasión gracias a la integración de afinamientos en los sistemas de información, y la participación activa de los proveedores, se encuentra una opción viable de la eliminación de un reproceso, que garantiza eficiencia y efectividad en la agilización del ciclo de producción en CERREJON. A través de la ejecución del proyecto de reforma del conteo, se presenta la oportunidad de mejoramiento en la cadena del departamento; el proceso de reconteo en la mina, realizado posteriormente al conteo inicial en Puerto Bolívar, de los materiales que llegan importados vía marítima. El proceso de afinamiento del recibo documental en el consolidador de carga y los mayores proveedores de entrega directa (HITACHI y MCA) al transportador, genera la opción del uso de terminales portátiles, que de la mano con los ajustes documentales, permitirán que la carga sea contada y separada por localización, para enviarla vía tren a LMN, reduciendo tiempo de entrega al cliente final, los costos de remanejo al volver a contar, y los costos asociados a las entregas no oportunas de devolución de contenedores.

Managing non-standard international experience: evidence from a Finnish company

Purpose – This paper extends the increasing debates about the role of international experience through mechanisms other than standard expatriation packages, in particular through the use of short-term assignments. It explores the different forms of short-term assignments (project work, commuter assignments, virtual international working and development assignments) and the different sets of positive and negative implications these can have for the company and the individuals concerned. The integration-differentiation debate is reflected here as elsewhere in IHRM, with the company moving towards greater centralization and control of its use of these assignments. Design/methodology/approach – Since the research is exploratory, we adopted a qualitative approach to get a more in-depth understanding on the realities the corporations and the assignees are facing. The study was implemented through a single case study setting in which the data were collected by interviewing (n=20) line managers, human resource management (HRM) staff and assignees themselves. In addition corporate documentation and other materials were reviewed. Findings – The present case study provides evidence about the characteristics of short-term assignments as well as the on the management of such assignments. The paper identifies various benefits and challenges involved in the use of short-term assignments both from the perspectives of the company and assignees. Furthermore, the findings support the view that a recent increase in the popularity of short-term assignments has not been matched by the development of HRM policies for such assignments. Research limitations/implications – As a single case study, limitations in the generalizability of the findings should be kept in mind. More large-scale research evidence is needed around different forms of international assignments beyond standard expatriation in order to fully capture the realities faced by international HRM specialists Practical implications – The paper identifies many challenges but also benefits of using short-term assignments. The paper reports in-depth findings on HR development needs that organizations face when expanding the use of such assignments. Social implications – The paper identifies many challenges but also benefits of using short-term assignments. The paper reports in-depth findings on HR development needs that organizations face when expanding the use of such assignments. Originality/value – Empirical research on short-term assignments is still very limited. In that way the paper provides much needed in-depth evidence on why such assignments are used, what challenges are involved in the use of such assignments and what kinds of HR-development needs are involved.
